This is not a bad idea then, any idea of costs ?
Also, you are correct about the light you were describing from brabus, do you get my point about the opening causing shadows.
These are the kind of things that trip lastpage, no wonder why she is looking for red passport !

allCopacetic:
No shadows.
the glass screen acts as a diffuser for the light rays so there's no sharp focusing.
the result is identical to what you get with the attached...as seen,regardless of the designs and cuts around the glass there are no shadows just white diffused light

the setup you mentioned is just a bulb in a cylinder with openings all round and no glass, if i recall correctly.

The guy running around with 10 different monikers, agarawu or whatever your name is.
Abeg, stop posting pictures of your daughter on a forum like this, it portrays a very bad image of yourself as a father. The poor girl has nothing to do with your running around like a headless chicken. Keep her out of it.

Also, when brabus next pays his installment for the fake building plan, I can offer to give you N5k as my contribution, but on the condition that the following will be done.

# Get yourself a nice shave.
# Get yourself a nice haircut
# Wear some decent clothes, how many yards will sew you a nice white DASHIKI ?


Abi, will my N5k reach so ?

If the other side of the wall is a dry wall as well, will one have the light shadows projected on the other side ? If so, I think it would be distracting.
It was like the oil filter light brabus showed us the other day, i find the filter body causing a lot of shadows on the ceiling. I find it distracting and defeating the purpose.

I feel a light can be used to illuminate, decorate or draw attention to a specific area of a room, when the light starts to cause unwanted effects on surfaces, then i would question its application.

my thoughts.


allCopacetic:
If you're playing around with dry construction/wall cladding, you should consider these,... they make an excellent choice for wall lighting

When installed flush into the cladding or dry wall, they create a minimalistic, yet stylish look/effect

I had some respect for you and I think its safe to say its all evaporated. You just open your mouth like a basket without a cover. Lets get some facts right, before people like you open your dirty mouth or bring out your scaly fingers to type.

Have I nearly completed my project with or without brabus 400k fake approval, only 200k paid ?
Before I asked him for my refund, did my work stop ?
Is it 400k out of which he has paid only 200k that it takes to build & finish a house ?
Did I ever personally ask you to help get payment, so why are you thinking you deserve so much credit here. Abi you self want to claim elder, elder ko Oloriburuku ni !


I thought you were a logical and sensible human being, but its clear that the sense you have is in comatose, and that is one of the reasons why Nigeria is in current state. Its people like you that is part of the problem, and the reason is in the sentence below.

They say in Yoruba, "Nkon ti o maje, Ko je ko gbadun/gbon " What you will eat/gain, isn't making you smart/making you very dull !

Whether you support brabus or not, is either here nor there for me (whats my busines but I am free to express my opinions), when he finishes your burglary, I am sure you can give him your house to finish ONIRANU !.

Also bring out your crayons and reply me back, I want it in brown, silver, blue and red.
I may not reply some of your posts directed at me because sometimes silence is golden, agbalagba ti oon se bi eni ti ko ni LARI !





lastpage:
Stop acting like a silly kid! The way some of you reason, leaves much to be desired! Once someone is not buying your #wailing, they must be supporting Brabus, right? Its either "our way" or the highway, right

By now you should know that it is adults, people with far better 'real life experience" than you, that take a position and stick with it based on their own principle.

When you were here crying because of 400K, begging us to put pressure on Brabus ( and l was one of the very vocal who did), you did not write such asinine rubbish...... but after you have collected a lot of the repayment, you have suddenly regained your mojo, abi?

Go-on, bite the finger that fed you, you will soon catch fire again. grin grin

Everyone is FREE to take a position on issues, as long as they are convinced of what they are doing.
I dont run with the crowds.... more so, some faceless, immature crowd that flip-flop like UKIP leader.

Each man to his own.

I dont hide my soft spot for Brabus from anyone and l stand by it, even if a million N/Landers are against him.
It is because l still find certain things in him, worthy of my attention though like l have said a million times, he has to be more open, discerning and trustworthy.

he did not take my money nor has he done anything bad for/to me personally, so my anger with him cannot be to wish him and his family dead or for me to be crying more than the bereaved..........as some of you want.

Scotland as has been mentioned will surely call for a second referendum. Only this time, the EU will give her assurances of absorption should its people vote yes and they will. That leaves the ever restive northern Irish no choice but to question their continued existence in an English and welsh dominated UK while their cousins in the south flourish.
Oga , Cool down abeg grin

If Scotland wants to get into the EU, it needs the UK parliament to vote on a referendum and pass it into law (it will fail, labour and the tories will not support such a motion and SNP not enough to win the vote), and then win the referendum.

Let me ask you a question.

Do you think Spain will agree ? Remember they all have to agree, all 27 states.

Let me tell you why Spain will not agree to Scotland joining.

If Scotland joins, the break away part of Spain called Catalunya with the capital known as Barcelona will demand thesame and also break away. This is something that Madrid will absolutely hate, I have been to the 2 cities and no love lost (This is one of the reasons for El-Classico Barca vs Real). Catalunya people dont believe they are Spanish, they like to think of themselves as separatist.

Just my school of thought, and trying to give another angle.

Apparently no benefits in France and most other developed EU countries. A french friend of mine told me that in France if any EU person bring 10kids then you are on your own.

I have see TV programs where a Romanian person is claiming bags of cash here for kids that are not even here, the problem is that benefits due to UK people is also due to EU people, they cannot discriminate benefits.

On Brexit


This is how I see it, the UK voted for Brexit out of anger (none of them ever thought they would win) and to send a message to the political establishment who have longed been fearful of telling them the truth about immigration, it simply cannot be reduced whilst in the EU period. You can't cherry pick things you want i.e single market access and discriminate on immigration/movement of people. What also happened was that David Cameron used the referendum as a ticket to number 10/seat of power, this played quite nicely into the hands of UKIP who wanted the UK out of Europe anyway. If Cameron didn't call the referendum, he risked more voters turning to UKIP.

What could he have done better ?

If I were in his shoes, I would only call the referendum in my 4th year in office not after 1 year. I guess he didn't believe the UK could really vote Brexit.

What does Brexit mean ?

Well as it says on the tin, "Britain exiting Europe". It will not bring the £350m a week the Pro Brexit politicians said will come back to the NHS, if the calculation was right, they would sit tight and implement it, instead they all jumped ship. What does that tell you ?
Tony Blair was notorious for the war in Iraq, now David Cameron would be known for the PM that initiated Brexit, even though the guy means well for the country, at least the way they have handled the economy, mind you I am not a Tory party member, I don't belong to any party. I simply vote for the people who could best protect my interests and the wider populace.

Europe needs the UK as much as UK needs Europe, you only have to look around the major companies here to find out that they are no longer owned by the British. Even common water self.

Thames water
Landrover Jaguar
Ford
EDF
QE2 bridge (no longer Govt owned as it was sold a few years ago)
Most of the British Gold
Various Infrastructure projects (Channel tunnel)
Various properties (Who owns the Excel centre)


So London/UK is an international city/country, that's why it thrives despite the fact that it hardly manufactures anything, Europe or lets say Germany on the other hand manufactures a lot, and it needs to sell/export, you only need to look at the number of German cars being sold to the UK every year, or the amount of food French farmers sell to the UK. What messed up the whole thing was the Lisbon treaty and the fact that countries from the Eastern block were allowed in, what it meant was lower skilled people felt threatened, thier wages were cut, thier communities became too saturated as immigrants from EU countries were more likely to settle in such areas. The locals felt intimidated, all thier shops closed and instead you had Polish supermarkets, their kids couldn't get access to schools and doctors appointments, buses became full, trains full and they just felt like a visitor in their own country.

The likes of Germany were happy with the expansion of the EU, it allowed them to lower wages and hence become a manufacturing country, keep costs down and compete with China. On the other hand, most of the poorer southern European countries and Eastern European countries were encouraged to buy luxury German products such as cars, this was good for Germany in 2 ways

1) It was able to export its goods/services.
2) It was able to offer cheap money/loans to these countries to buy its goods.

This was very much the case with Greece.

If the original EU founding countries remained thesame without any expansion, I dont think there would be Brexit, the purchasing power of member citizens would be very close, you cannot compare Romania to the UK, but you can compare Germany to the UK GDP wise, you can also compare France/Holland to the UK, but not Bulgaria. I was also shocked during the campaign when some Nigerians/non EU people were pro Brexit, because they thought the EU people had it easy, whilst they had to struggle to stand on their feet, one question for them. The Pro Brexit people like former UKIP leader Nigel Farage, do you think he wants Nigerians to flood the UK because of Brexit, or will he welcome Nigerians with open arms, if so why get into bed with him ?



What does the future hold ?

Its a really hard one, but with Theresa May at the helm, she is a tough operator and the kind of person that can deal with Juncker/Schultz/Tusk. Closer to any negotiations, I see the pound falling, so a good time to go long on the dollar and short sterling. I see a deal being done, however that deal will have a caveat, the mood in France is that of exiting the EU, most French people dont like it, but they just have to accept it. Thier leaders will not call a referendum unless the National Front of France start to make some serious gains.

There may not be free movement of labour/people, but potentially a work permit system. Brexit will not kill off immigration, it may just stem it. Some of the Brexit promises will not be delivered, however I get angry when I read or hear people running down the country. Remember, once upon a time it was a massive Kingdom and the biggest in the world.

Its just that time/events have overtaken it.

My 2 cents.

I share your sentiments, at least a survey plan needs to be in place to ascertain the dimension and shape, otherwise how will you know what you are designing.

I am happy for those that are reading and learning now, at least these mistakes can be avoided, the shylot placed the clients name and account number on the screenshot. Can you imagine what fraudsters will be thinking now, licking thier lips now i guess.

I remember vividly when I asked him about architectural drawings, he said to me he's the only person that can talk to his architect, so you can imagine, I am paying someone and I cannot tell him what I want, I have to go through a 3rd party. That was the rat i smelt and I went to commission my own architect, I wish I had commissioned my own builder at the very start. But still thank God, it could have been worse.



OnetimeOnly:
Same old nonsense. Fraudster packager overpromising the impossible. Pretending to be an architect. Who gave The fraudster stamp that he is threatening not to apply. Anybody who has spent 1day in architecture or building school knows you don't start designing a building until you have the site plan or layout...even though the Client is overreaching, so you finished designing before you realize the building does not fit the site.

Its not oo.
Unless you live in a well established estate, where there are some rules and people might be inclined to follow it, its usually a case of "who need am pass". So I will say if you feel you need the fence, you could still try talking to your neighbor, but dont let that hold you back.
I once lived in an area where there were different classes of houses, and when we asked the residents to contribute towards a street gate, they said they dont have anything that thief can steal, the man said his Tv set is over 20 yrs old, and if a thief wants it they can come and get it.

I lived in another estate whereby the residents are all middle class Nigerians with good jobs, asked for contribution for road to which 80% of residents contributed, the remaining 20% were told that if they do not contribute, the security would not open the estate gate for them, and by fire by force they all paid up.

Lastly, one piece of advice. If you are going to start construction, dont fence yourself in, leave some parts of the fence, if you are not constructing yet and just want to secure the land, then fence all around.


msogunro:
Thanks for sharing your experience.

I was hoping to hear that it's normal to contribute to building their side of the fence. I'll inquire, but I won't let it delay me.

What happens in the UK and some developed countries is that the Govt pays an employer or makes a contribution to their wages. Either that or we have more Yabatech's and new ones for God sake.

How many new technical colleges have been built in Nigeria in the last 20 years ?

And some of our youths are angry that Cotonou/Togo boys are taking thier jobs ?
In some of the areas of Lagos where the construction trade is booming a lot (Lekki, Ikorodu, Lagos Ibadan axis), I would have thought they should set up some kind of technical college there. (Building technology, plumbing, welding and metal works, Masonry works)

Very true Sir!

I know we used to have "Technical Schools" in those days, which are post-primary school level but l am not sure they are still functioning as of today.

There is one just beyond Yaba College of Tech sandwiched between the officers Mess and l do see a lot of young people go there when l used to frequent that place for relaxation.

The 6-3-3-4 system of education, if properly implemented, was designed to cater to what you alluded to.
Those who finish JSS-3 and dont want to proceed further to SS1, were supposed to go into such "Technical School" were they would learn various Craft like Carpentry, Electrician, Plumbing, e,t,c

Only good leadership will make us go back to the right path in this country.

Thank you.

Please let us try not to generalise i.e the Yoruba mentioned below. I think its dangerous, whilst you have a good point in that the guys of today want to get rich quick without learning the ropes. It cannot be attributed to one particular tribe/religion/race etc.

Let me give you some of my own experience.

Electrician: Yoruba - Gives me headache atimes, but knows his stuff. Usually comes back for more money despite agreement which is written in black and white.

First contractor - Yoruba and I dont need to give brabus any introduction, despite the fact that he is a prominent church member, he still does Fetish things, and even planted a fetish stone at 3strikes site, I dont know what he would have planted on my site, but I dont believe in juju. I think it would NOT be fair for me to generalise all christains that they also have skeletons in thier cupboard. That would be wrong and unfair.

Carpenter: Yoruba youth - One of the best I ever had, even Bosun gave him thumbs up for the work he did on my site, so did Sege.

Bricklayer: Cotonou - No wahala

Iron Bender; Togo - No wahala, cool as ice.

Pop - Togo - Cool as ice.

Tiler - Cotonou - Knows his stuff, absolute pain in the arse to deal with atimes.

Would I generalise, absolutely NOT. We just need prayers and do some due diligence on the artisans we engage.

Spot-on ....at the bolded!


As it is nowadays, our Youths (especially our Yoruba Youths!) dont want to learn any form of handiwork!
Most want 'easy money', are too arrogant and impatient ......not generally interested in 'tutoring' under any "Master".

Gone are the days when a young apprenticeship graduate can point to his "Master" under who he/she trained for some years, celebrated "freedom" and maintain that cordial relationship with the former boss.

Now, you hardly find that "neighbourhood", TRAINED Electrician, Plumber, Carpenter, Craft-Men, e.t.c..... especially those ones that decided that University/Higher Education is not for them.
Most of them are either Okada/Maruwa Drivers, "Junction/Orita"-Touts, Omo-Onile, Bus-Stop Scavengers or outright nefarious characters like Armed Robbers,Kidnappers or Yahoo++!


I fear for the "future".

Lawyer, I am glad your attention has been called to this.
What will NL do to reduce or eliminate people like Bosun Shoyoye Brabus ?
What will happen to confidential client information he has posted on a public forum like this ?

lawyer:
I am really sad about all these things i am reading about Brabus. If its one complainant then its a mistake but when you have 5, 10, 20 etc all complaining about the same thing then something is wrong somewhere.
